Fig Chutney Recipe Jamie Oliver

FRESH FIG CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients in a pan and bring to a gentle simmer for 1 hr, uncovered, stirring occasionally until it gets sticky and jammy. Spoon into a clean Kilner jar. That's it. You're done.

FRESH FIG CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a large saucepan combine the vinegar, sugar, onion, ginger, mustard seeds, lemon zest, cinnamon stick, salt, allspice, and cloves and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until mixture is thickened and reduced by 2/3, forming a thick syrup. Add the figs and cook gently until the figs are very soft and beginning to fall apart and most of the liquid they've given off has evaporated, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer the chutney to a non-reactive container and allow to come to room temperature before serving. The chutney may be made up to 3 weeks in advance and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. (Alternately, hot chutney may be ladled into hot sterilized canning jars and processed in a hot-water bath according to manufacturer's directions.)

• Char each of the peppers over a gas flame or barbecue for 3-5 min until blackened on all sides. Place in a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap for 10-15 minutes until softened. Peel away and discard skins. Remove cores, open each pepper and scrape out the seeds. (If you have sensitive skin, use gloves when handling chilis.) Transfer to work bowl of a food processor.
• Heat oil in a skillet. Add onions and sweat 10 minutes until soft and translucent and just beginning to color. Add to food processor.
• Pulse food processor until desired consistency is achieved. Return to skillet.
• Add bay leaves, rosemary, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, cinnamon stick, salt and pepper and stir. Simmer over low heat 30 minutes until thick and jammy. Remove and discard bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Cool thoroughly and store in the refrigerator.
